Looking forward to joining Ryan Jespersen and Real Talk Ryan Jespersen tomorrow morning to talk about Alberta's changes to the Wildlife Act which will once again allow Albertans to kill our iconic grizzly bears as trophies.

Not only is Minister Loewen inappropriate in bringing back the killing of a threatened species in this manner, but he stands to gain financially from it if guide-outfitters are employed to guide these hunters.

Water availability and quality is crucial to healthy #ecosystems and communities. ⚠️ We may be in hot #water sooner than we think without any plan to safeguard this precious resource. ℹ️Read the Auditor General report on surface water mgmt: oag.ab.ca/wp-content/upl… #AbLeg #AbPoli

This week Lethbridge Herald published an OpEd by retired AB Fish & Wildlife biologist Lorne Fitch, taking Minister of Forestry Todd Loewen to task for the new grizzly hunt. It is a scathing rebuttal.

At the start of the fire season the Alberta gov't announced they were "comfortable with a decrease in natural-disaster funds" because "a couple nice snowstorms" and "a few nice rains" could "make all the difference in the world." We are failing in the face of a changing world.

Hard to believe we still have the status quo after more than three years. Here's the original trip that led to this photo. OHV use across the province is insufficiently monitored and regulated causing harm to wilderness everywhere #abpoli #ableg 1/ x.com/N88TE/status/1…

The #Alberta Energy Regulator @AER_News is failing to represent citizens across the province. Enough is enough. Our #EasternSlopes are too important to risk with mountain-top removal #CoalMining. #MountainsNotMines #WaterNotCoal #AbLeg #AbPoli #Ab4CoalFreeRockies

Activists shared a win with the #Kananaskis logging slowdown last year, temporarily saving 2000 football fields worth of climate-preserving forest & trails but for how long & what comes next?

A win for the greater good of our whole Province. Gina - take Northback and head back to Auz. Danielle and Brian - take note, you will not win with a plan this ridiculous in your direct attempts to destroy Alberta. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…

The Alberta Energy Regulator could have fined Imperial Oil at least 26 TIMES MORE in connection with oilsands tailings leaks at its Kearl site in northern Alberta, according to environmental law experts. #abpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/08/29/new…

A big lesson from Narwhal's excellent work is that corporate governance models are not a good fit for for bodies that have regulatory responsibilities eg AER & AESO. One of the villains here is AESO's BoD chair Karl Johannson: "support the minister without reservation.” #ableg

An Alberta government-owned hazardous waste facility operated for *years* without meeting mercury monitoring requirements. Despite this, AEPA issued no sanctions after we requested an investigation in January. Unacceptable. We need tougher enforcement now. hubs.ly/Q02NY4PX0
